Welcome to Exilian!
I was another one at ExiliCon - I was on the reception desk for the day. I didn't manage to talk to anybody at great length, so I'll be interested to hear more about Isles of Darkness.
I've had a quick scan through recent posts on your history blog, and they look like an intriguingly eclectic mix - I think I'll be going back for more. Please feel free to post history stuff here too.
